Arsenal V Man Utd Betting Odds Make Arsenal Surprising Favourites To Win On Sunday
Tuesday 26 April 2011 at 10:22
The game of the weekend is likely to be Arsenal v Man Utd on Sunday and the Arsenal v Man Utd Betting Odds have Arsenal as the most likely winners despite their recent poor form. This game did look as though it could decide the title a couple of weeks ago but it now looks as though Arsenal are more likely to finish fourth than first, whilst Man Utd still look very strong in the title race.
Draw Looking The Most Likely Result Despite Bookie Odds
The reason that Arsenal are the favourites to win this game is Man Utd’s poor away form this season that has seen them win just five of their seventeen matches on the road in the league. Man Utd have drawn nine of those away games, which is as many away draws as any other team in the league, and they have lost three. Since Arsenal have drawn four of their last six matches the best bet appears to be the least likely according to the bookies, the draw. A draw in this game can be backed at 12/5 with SkyBet and William Hill and that looks a very good bet based on form. Arsenal, who lost to Bolton last weekend, are 8/5 with Paddy Power and Blue Square to get a win whilst Man Utd are a fair price at 19/10 with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers.
Expect Plenty Of Goals At The Emirates Stadium
There could be a few goals in this game, Man Utd still struggle to keep clean sheets away from home whilst Arsenal’s defence looks extremely suspect at the moment, over 2.5 goals looks a solid bet at even money with Bet365. It would be no surprise to see this game end up 2-2, especially considering Arsenal have had a recent 2-2 against West Brom and a recent 3-3 against Spurs. You can get 14/1 with Victor Chandler and William Hill on 2-2 whilst punters who aren’t so confident about plenty of goals will probably want to back 1-1 at 6/1 with William Hill currently. With goals expected the anytime goalscorer market should have some value in it, Wayne Rooney seems to raise his game against the big clubs and has a great goalscoring record away from home, he is 13/8 with Boylesports to score at anytime whilst Arsenal’s Samir Nasri appeals as a anytime goalscorer bet at 11/4 with William Hill.
